Om mig

Hello my name is samuel kermashahi and I work for freedom, human rights and equality between men and women, I support Israel and Kurdish friends, I'll say my opinion is a liberal, I believe in liberal social democracy.

I am so sad when related violence increases dramatically in society against women, I think that if we all get together people and fight against violence can be very powerful, unfortunately there are foreign people living in Sweden can not learn Swedish law and rules of their body lives in Sweden, but their brains are still living in the Middle East ..

Syrian Democratic Forces capture new areas amidst ISIS retreat

Syrian Democratic Forces capture new areas amidst ISIS retreat.

Raqqa– The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued to advance in Raqqa Governorate on Saturday, driving the Islamic State (ISIS) out of five villages and destroying a number of jihadi fighting positions.

Saturday’s advance comes just a few days after the SDF expelled ISIS militants from ten other villages in western Raqqa – Bir Shallal, Um Salim, Safakher, Ajaj, Merwaniya, Krajah, Hamer Saghir, Hamer Kabir, Qerefdan and Draniya.

Second Phase of Euphrates Wrath

This week’s offensives are part of the wider Euphrates Wrath Operation, which was launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces on November 6. While the first phase focused on securing both banks of the Balikh River, the second phase aims “at liberating the western countryside of Raqqa.”

The long-term objective of Euphrates Wrath is the elimination of the Islamic State in its de facto capital, Raqqa city.

SDF troops and US Special Forces have liberated 37 km² so far, as part of the second phase of the operation. During the first phase ofEuphrates Wrath, SDF soldiers captured an area measuring approximately 560 km².

The SDF have released several statements, inducing the jihadists in Raqqa to surrender.

“To the jihadists of the so-called Islamic State, our fire will soon reach downtown Raqqa and by then you won’t be able to escape,” the SDF said in a hair-raising statement last Monday. “This is the final call: either surrender to the Syrian Democratic Forces or die.”

“Members of the extremist group carried out four simultaneous attacks at YPG checkpoints in the vicinity of Ain Issa,” media activist Jivan Mustafa told ARA News.

The Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) are the largest force within the SDF. They have also proven to be among the most effective forces fighting ISIS, employing a highly-adaptive doctrine that emphasizes stealth, surprise and speed.
